    Wow!

    Jeffrey must not like restrictions against "hate speech" since they make it harder for him to insult people's sexuality. He still managed to make an effort.

    It has always been the self righteous right who has fought against free speech. They have fought against any words they don't like, ideas that do not support their limited religious views, and any criticism against their leaders- political or religious. They were also the first people to suggest suicide to a president- remember "Kevorkian for White House Doctor" bumper stickers? Neither hypocrisy nor evolution is taught in red state I imagine.

    The girl's shirt was in bad taste, and was probably a bit offensive. Did it require a man to act like a teacher's pet who has spotted somebody passing notes in class? I don't think so. That man surely could feel all self-righteous and superior in front of his wife for the entire flight, which was probably what his fragile ego needed. Of course, she probably thought he was acting like an idiot.
